Explanation Writing

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be talking about The water cycle. In literacy we have been doing explanation writing. For explanation writing we had to write about the water cycle. The water cycle is how water moves throughout it it’s lifetime. It all repeats for infinity.  Here’s my story:

 

The life cycle of water starts off with the water evaporating. Evaporation caused by the hot weather turns the water to another state known as gas. Once it evaporates the water generates into something called condensation otherwise known as clouds. It then rains, snows or hails down upon the ground. It then hits the ground and is then gathered through the sewers and the drains to a different large or small body of water.in this following explanation it will be expanded upon.  

First the water starts off by rising up into the sky after evaporating. Evaporation is affected by the temperature surrounding it. If it’s warmer it’s more likely to evaporate or boil than freeze or become cold. And if it’s colder it’s more likely to freeze and way less likely to evaporate, in fact it’s almost impossible. While evaporation the water goes to a different state known as condensation or gas. Condensation as you may call it, clouds. 

The clouds can be any types like, cumulus, cirrus, stratus or anything else. The clouds which on average weigh 1.1 million pounds or 498951.607 kg is where the water may crystallize.  If it may happen the water might crystallize and it would turn then to hail or snow, it depends. Once it rains, snows or hails it then gets collected. 

Water once it rains or melts it gets collected through drains. The snow or hail before going through the drains will need to melt back into water, its original form. Once it makes it to the drains and into the sewer it is then redirected to somewhere where it will be cleaned. Once cleaned it is then distributed to different places: the oceans, rivers, lakes, houses or buildings. 

The water cycle is the lifecycle of water.  Firstly it evaporates into condensation or as we call it, clouds. In the clouds the water may crystallize into snow or just stay the same. Once it rains or snows the water is collected through the drains or is already in a body of water.
